CGC Partners with ACE ASSIST and KLF Sports for an Exclusive Private Signing with Cobie Smulders

CGC is excited to team up with ACE ASSIST and KLF Sports to bring fans an exclusive Private Signing with Marvel Cinematic Universe star, Cobie Smulders. MCU fans know her as Maria Hill in The Avengers, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D and Spiderman: Far From Home. Smulders has signed exclusively with ACE and KLF, making this event the only place to get her signature! See pricing and details below!

Smulders has had a broad acting career, working in TV, film and animated movies during her time in the industry. Early in her career she rose to fame as Robin Scherbatsky in the 10 time Emmy Award winning series, How I Met Your Mother. Soon after the show wrapped, she was cast as Maria Hill in the first Avengers movie and has had a recurring role in many other films in the MCU. During this time she also worked on other popular movies including the animated films, The Lego Movie and The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, where she voiced DC heroine, Wonder Woman. Smulders was also part of the Netflix adaptation of the best-selling children's book series, A Series of Unfortunate Events, where she played Mrs. Quagmire. Smulders will resume her role as Maria Hill in the upcoming MCU series, Secret Invasion that is set for release in 2023 on Disney+.

“Cobie Smulders, aka Maria Hill, is one of very few MCU stars that have appeared on TV, Film and Animated form depicting the same character,” said Stephen Shamus, ACE Comic Con President. “This is a rare opportunity to get one of Marvel’s most elusive signers and have your books Witnessed for CGC Signature Series. There are very few CGC SS books out there with Cobie on them, so this is a great chance for collectors!" 

“We are so happy to be partnering with ACE and KLF for another celebrity signing opportunity! Cobie Smulders is well known for her portrayal of S.H.I.E.L.D commander and former director, Maria Hill. This is a rare signing opportunity that fans will not want to miss!” said Brittany McManus, CGC Signature Series Director.
